Wounded Warriors gives me this feeling. On the one hand I am deeply grateful that there is an organization picking up the slack for veterans but, on second thought: why is this organization necessary? Why can’t our government take care of men and women it sent into the fray?

American presidents, despite being the Commander in Chief, are civilians. They aren’t expected to salute service members. They absolutely don’t salute soldiers in a foreign military. Kneeling for the national anthem is nothing compared to this.
